18世纪西洋人在测绘清朝舆图中的活动与贡献

一、18世纪西洋人在测绘清朝舆地图中的活动1．大一统清王朝的建立与清帝对舆图的重视中国自古以来就是一个统一的多民族国家。数千年来,虽政权更替,历有分合,但中华统一的国家却越来越巩固。到了清代,我国的疆土得到了最后的奠定。今天我国现有的领土和海域,基本上是继承清代的版图,这可以说是清朝的一大历史功绩。清朝统治者对版图的管理十分重视。所谓“版”,就是记载人民户籍的档案。“图”是地图,是国家土地、山水的图记,所以历来版图被认为是一个主权国家的主要凭证。所谓“国家有疆宇,谓之版图,版言乎其有民,图言乎其有…

现代性的两面性与民俗艺术的传承困境、机遇及其应对——以湖州石淙蚕花为例

现代性是有着两面性的,它在否定过去、传统之时,又可能"发现"或"发明"过去、传承新的价值。一方面,在社会的现代化过程中,大多数民俗艺术都丧失了其固有的社会与文化功能;另一方面,恰恰是现代性意识赋予了它文化遗产价值与独立的审美价值。这两种价值是民俗艺术在现代社会中实现功能转换与价值转向的前提。民俗艺术要真正融入到现代社会的血肉、肌理之中,就不能仅仅成为文化遗产或画廊中的"纯艺术",必须在"日常生活中传承传统"与"审美转向"之间找到一个结合点,在现代日常生活中将文化遗产价值与审美价值统一起来。浙江湖州石淙蚕花在现代社会中的传承困境、机遇及其应对,为阐述现代性文化逻辑下民俗艺术的功能转换与价值转向提供了一个较为典型的案例。

略论《嘉泰吴兴志》的价值

《嘉泰吴兴志》是800年前编写的一部湖州地方志,它是湖州现存最早且较为完备的方志,在湖州方志史上具有首创意义。《嘉泰吴兴志》不仅对研究宋代及宋代以前湖州的历史具有不可取代的作用,而且对研究江南乃至全国同一时期的政治、经济、化也有不可低估的价值。同时其编撰中的一些成功经验也值得续志借鉴。     

从《嘉泰吴兴志》看宋代湖州城的厢级区划及其管理

《嘉泰吴兴志》是反映宋代湖州的一部地方志,在坊巷等门类中记载了湖州城的厢级区划。本文以湖州城为例,探讨了湖州城的厢级区划及其管理,指出:厢级区划适用了坊市制崩溃下的城市管理要求,更有利于城市商品经济的发展。厢级官吏虽地位不高,但其职责完备,对城市管理至关重要。

湖州窖藏太平天国背横圣宝钱应为本地所铸

１８６２年５月３０日,太平军占领湖州,１８６４年８月２８日太平军从湖州撤离,其间占领湖州达两年多。１８６３年至１８６４年初,随着各州县陆续失守,湖州便成为太平军在浙江唯一重要的据点。湖州地处苏、浙、皖三省交界和太湖流域,是太平军在浙江最后撤离的城市,又临近都城天京,是太平天国晚期的战略要地。太平军在湖州期间虽然未见有铸钱的文字记载,但种种迹象表明,湖州在太平天国晚期应铸过钱币。 湖州曾铸过太平天国钱币最直接的证据是湖州发现的钱币窖藏。１９９８年１１月１３日,湖州市白墙湾拆除民房时于地表１米处发现…

Advances in Morphometrics in Archaeobotany

ABSTRACT

Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, although its application in archaeobotany is relatively recent. Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of morphometrics for analysing a varied range of archaeological plant materials (mainly seeds, pollen, phytoliths, and starch grains). In particular, morphometrics have contributed to the study of the domestication and spread of many cereals world-wide, as well as that of other taxa including legumes, underground storage organs (USO), and fruits (such as olives, grapes, and dates). This paper reviews current methodologies, recent applications, and advances in the use of morphometrics in archaeobotanical research, discusses its role in exploring major research questions, and suggests possible future directions for its use.     

杏开二月

已经是二月仲春了,大地柔软,天气慢慢热起来了。一场习习的春雨,浇得人心头酥酥的。我第一次注意到,家门前的杏树开了。枝干上,星星点点,挑着几朵白,轻盈得很,把薄薄的心打开,驻足美的枝头,观赏人间烟火。背后是灰灰的庭院,低矮的     

Geography in Higher Education in Australia

Within the last 30 years, geographical information systems (GIS) have been used increasingly in the training of geographers. On the basis of the philosophy of technology and instrumental genesis, we sketch how the use of instruments interacts with learning processes and outline how this can be studied. We empirically analyse students' learning processes and the influences of teaching practice in an introductory course in GIS. We show that students have different strategies for creating their personal instrument for spatial thinking and how teaching interacts with the students' learning processes. Finally, we discuss how GIS may gradually alter future professional development of geographers.     

America in Speech and in Deed

The author's primary aim in what follows is to fully articulate Chantal Delsol's critique of late modern universalism as an attempt to depoliticize the individual for the sake of replacing politics with morality. The result of this depoliticization is a quasi-pantheistic cosmopolitanism that not only effectively denies the significance of individuality, despite rhetorically lionizing it, but also undercuts the freedom of individual conscience that makes moral choice possible. Genuine political prudence and moral judgment are subsequently replaced by the rigid exactitude of a technocratic analysis that reintroduces the "clandestine ideology" it was, despite protestations to the contrary, intended to eliminate. The unhappy paradox produced by the attempt to replace the necessary limitations of political judgment with the universality of a priori moral decree is that a new set of culturally and historically idiosyncratic political attachments are surreptitiously introduced beyond the pale of reasonable debate and disagreement. Delsol's measured response is not a precipitous rejection of universalism as such but a rehabilitation of it that recaptures the Christian moral realism at its core.
